TECHNICAL INFO: Experinece in Metaverse and AR, 2023
PLACE: Pro Helvetia, Digital Residency / March-May 2023

WINDCATCHER is a project in Metaverse and AR made by artist Mariia Fedorova within the Pro Helvetia online residency. The work refers to the formation of new ecologies, and enquires architecture in which nature and technology are closely intertwined.

In the Metaverse guests can stroll through the WIND HOUSE and watch a performance by the Son of the Wind, the avatar version of twice European champion in Pole Art and Pole Theatre Yuriy Kazachkin. Kazachin's gravity defying performance was recorded with motion capture technology and transferred into the Metaverse and AR. His avatar invites us to think about relations of physical and virtual body knowledge.
